Geordie Armstrong- A Piece of History Forgotten

[dave.woodhall]

I remember him.
He was, of course, an Arsenal double winning legend, he actually died after an Arsenal coaching session, he was only in his mid fifties I think.
Ron Saunders had him as coach for a couple of seasons, remember he cut a Captain Haddock figure, a stocky man with a full beard.
I think he managed/coached in Scandinavia before he came to us in 1979, Saunders had Keir Leonard, Bill Shorthouse and Roy McLaren as his other coaches at the time, Tony Barton was the Manager's Assistant.

I don't think he was here for that long; a few months at most but I could be wrong.

Bill Shorthouse. There is a name from the past I had forgotten.
